I tried assuming that "sigma" mean the aliquot sigma, sum of divisors < n,
but I still do not understand A032452.

Since phi(6) = phi(4) = 2, it follows that phi(phi(7))=2, phi(phi(8))=2 so
whatever the offset and no matter which version of sigma we use, we should
  get a(7)=a(8).  But her sequence
starts 1,1,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,1,4,7,6,2,3,2,1,2,3,2,.. and there are no two
equal consecutive entries.
So maybe this is NOT the length of the transient.

Here is the original submission, which she submitted via an html "form",
which was processed by my cgi-bin shell program on our external machine,
which then composed an email to me and was sent through the firewall to my
local machine:

So this is still a mystery.

It is quite possible she is still living in Germany - could you try
contacting her?
